Trump ≈ <fill in the blank>:
A.) Hitler
B.) Mussolini
C.) Andrew Jackson
D.) Berlusconi
E.) None of the above.
Whaddya think?
I prefer 'similar to'. None of these guys is really a perfect fit, though Berlusconi has the edge. He's a modern, media derived narcissist; so is Trump. You can argue political positions, but I don't really see that being nearly as important. Neither was/is in it to create great change to his respective country. They both seem to be primarily into self aggrandizement and wealth accumulation. Anything policy related is almost accidental.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
